We have a Hotpoint EW74X cooker and the oven bulb needs replacing. Any ideas how to get the domed cover off or it a question of working from the back, I hope not.

they do a gizmo to get the lenses out
i thought the same about my oven, couldt get the glass off

I replaced our oven light, not a Hotpoint so may be diferent, but the glass was removed by pushing in and turning anti clock. HTH Ray

My folks just had theirs replaced in their Neff. They tried the special removal tool to no effect and got a man in.

He hit it with a mallet to loosen it
